When Dyer's Burgers opened their Beale Street store, the owners hired a police escort for their prized vat of grease, which made the five-mile journey in an armored car. It was an astute move -- the publicity surrounding the event was huge, and folks from all over town soon lined up, eager to purchase a bag full of doubles with cheese.

As you may have already guessed, the flavor secret is the grease. But it's not just the fries that benefit from the a dunk in the vat o' fat. The burgers are deep-fried, too: meat, bun and all. A local institution, Dyer's has been serving 'em up since 1912. -- Andria Lisle

    Ate twice at Dyers.....French Fries are frozen store bought,nice onion rings the make,both times I asked for no mustard and got it anyway....would be a better burger if it had real cheese and not some kraft style commercial grade cheese - I give them 2 stars

    Dyers use to be the very best place in Memphis. not only was the burger great but you could learn about life.. I spent some of my best times at Dyers it was a slice of Southern living.. the worn marble counters and the clientele was fascinating.. There is just no way to go back... I don't know much if anything about the NEW Dyers..but I love Memphis and the old Dyers,, it also brings back Lamb's EAT SHOP which was across the street in the FARMERS MARKET..wishing I could go home

    The original Dyer's at the corner of poplar and cleveland and when it moved on Cleveland street was the best hamburger I have ever ate.I don't know about now with new owners

    I've had their burgers at other locations -- fair to good -- but the bun was NOT fried. Can't imagine that.

    This is just a horrible idea. Food should have at least an iota of nutricional value and should not clog arteries simply by looking at it.
